Col. Allen Asks the City Council
to Make an Appropriation for
the Ice Carnival.
Col. Allen was present at the meeting
of the city council last night to ask an
appropriation for the coming winter
carnival. When the ordinance recon-
mended by the committee on ways and
means. apprOpriating 5000 to make up
the deficit of expenses incurred by the
iobberS' union committee for illUmina-
tiOnS and fire works during the last
fair. was read. Alderman SanbOrn
moved that Col. Allen be heard before
action was taken. Col. Allen stated
that the Carnival association would not
ask for any particular amount, but that
in previous seasons they had been voted
$4,000 directly and considerable more
Indirectly, and they wanted all they
could get this year. Aid. Cullen stated
that the council had already voted
away over $4,000 of the $4,000 allowed
for such purposes by the legislative act,
and that if the ordinance passed apprO-
priating $4,000 more for the JObberS
union. there would be left for the Car
nival association only little more than
$4,000. The ordinance did pass, how
ever. and the request of the JObberS'
union was referred to the committee on
ways and means. An accompanying
resolution was also passed authorizing
the proper officers to execute certifi-
Gates of Indebtedness for $4,000, as
provided.
Building Inspector Johnson submitted
written answer to the reSolu-
ton of Aid. Kenny, introduced
at the previous session, inquiring
I, - I,aI NnSinncc incnaarnr rn-
ouired owners of buildings to use Chi
cago patent fire escape i'll preference to
those of st. Paul manufacture. The
building inspector denies that he
designated any particular patent. bnt
only enforced the ordinance, several
sections which he quoted as his author
ity. Aid. Kenny was not satisfied and
had the matter referred to the commit
tee on streets.
Three bids for heating the FOundlingS'
home and annex to the City
hospital were opened in accordance
with the advertisement requiring each
bidder to submit his own plans and
specifications. Aid. Kenny moved that
the bids be rejected, the architect re-
Quired tC furnish plans and the commit
tee directed to re-advertise. Aid.
Petsch and Aid. Hamm supported.
Aid. Hamm thought the only fair way
was to require all bidders TO use the
same plans, and this was the only way
to avoid unpleaSantneSS and the repeti-
ton of the high bridge and court house
steam heating troubles. The bids were
rejected.
